The departure to-day Of Il new expedition to
complete the surveys Of the Nicaragua Canal
is an event Of National importance. II occurs
simultaneously with the announcement from
Paris that NJ. dc Lcsscps has abandoned the
project Of tidc-Icvc canal at Panama and
will make desperate effort TO finish the central
sections at higher grade and TO connect them
with the lower sections by locks. This is the
French engineers confession Of failure. When
tho IntcrOceanic Canal Congress was held in
Paris, he and his colleagues excluded the Mica
ragua route from consideration on the ground
that tidc-lcvcl canal was absolutely necessary,
and that such waterway could be constructed
only across tho Isthmus Of Darcn. He is now
willing to use the locks which he then con-
sidcrcd fatal TO intcrOceanic transit If only
he can squeeze more money ont Of crcdulous
French investors, he will make several changes
Of level and Introduce a complex locking sys-
TEN. He ought by this time to have exhausted
his borrowing power, so that his new proposal
will hasten the collapse Of his disastrous enter
prise but even If no can get more money and
do what now seems incredible, -complete his
ditch as a locking canal,-it will not be able to
compete in low tolls with the Nicaragua Canal
The chief object Of the now surveys for tho
Nicaragua Canal is to test the practcabilty Of
extending artiGdiIly the level of the lake and
shortening the lines Of excavation. As orig
inally laid out the route was 10 miles in
length from Grcytown to Brito. with still
water navigation for l20 miles. Engineer
Pcary and his assistants will now perfect tho
provisional surveys with view 20 ascertaining
whether tho level Of the lake cannot be extended

Marshwald, who died in the Brooklyn Hos
pital Yesterday. is declared by the physicians TO
have been the victim Of undoubtcd hydrophoph'
A post-mortcm examination will probably re-
veal whether or not this statement Is correct.
But how far the mans imagination and Dcilc1
that the dogs bite would make him mad really
contributed to his death cannot be determined
Nor can it be known whether the dog was
affected with rabies because he is said to have
been killed soon after attacking the man. IL
is unfortunate that q scientific examination OF
these cases cannot be made, and all the condI-
lions afdcircumstanccs thoroughly investigated
If there is such disease as hydrophobia, the
tact ought to be established beyond doubt !;
and if science can prevent it's development
after exposure, as Pastcur has apparently shown
in many cases the remedy ought to be put
within the reach of any possible victim.

also examine critically the harbor approaches

hope to succeed, provided the feasibility anu anu

OAKLAND,
THE BEAUTIFUL !

California abounds in choice resi-
dence locations, but OF them all Oak
land and vicinity is incomparably the
finest. 1t has every advantage. Its
climate is most enjoyable, being never
uncomfortably warm nor disagreeably
cool. Its many charming drives, its
beautiful lawns embowered in a per-
feet wealth of ever blooming flowers,
and it's magnificent, soul-inspiring
views are the wonder and admiration
of all travellers. In healthfulness it
surpasses all cities of the United
States, its death rate averaging only
IA per 1000. Its educational facilities
are thorough and complete, embracing
all classes from the lowest grades to
the State University, and lar surpass-
ing those of any other location on the
coast. Then it is within 80 miles OF
San Francisco and has half-hourly and
splendid communication Herewith.
Furthermore, it is backed and sur
rounded by the finest country in the
world. A section that produces all
the grains, fruits and nuts of the tenn
perate and semi-tropic zones, in finest
quality and richest abundance

here on that date with the 500 who
have announced their intention of 60
ing. OF this 500, one hundred and
fifty will be Select Knights in full uni
form. Arrangements have been made
to take the excursionists to Coronado
Beach free of all charge. The COM
mittee decided to furnish badges for
all who leave on the special train, and
other arrangements will be made to
make the trip most agreeable. The
Knights of San Diego have made
great preparations for receiving their
visiting brethren. and during the five
days stay at that city there will be a
continual round of pleasure. j. d.
Voglan, of Legion No. 6, East Los An

Dion BOucicault.

In all probability Manager Wyatt

witnessing Dion Boucicault in his pro-
duction of society comedy The Th.
Mr.. Boucicault has never been in Los
Angeles before and during his numer-

to find time enough disengaged to let
the people here see him in his great
impersonations. His reputation as an
artist has preceded him and in The
Jih he has made a success in almost
every city in Union and Australia.
Mr.. Boucicault is supported by Miss
Louisa Thorndyke, who is said to be
one of the most beautiful ladies on the
stage. He is also ably assisted by a
well selected from New York.
The repertoire throughout the week
will include all of those plays in which
Mr.. Boucicault has made world wide

rI,e New Russ House.

Mr.. Seymour, of the famous Russ
House, San Francisco, has purchased
six lots of land on Conn street, Cotton,
on which he has pledged himself to
erect splendid brick hotel OF one
hundred and forty rooms. The work,
however, will not be commenced until
April next. He says it will be second
to none in completeness and finish:
The location of the hotel is third OF
a block south of the new Southern
Pacific depot, to and from which a
private street Car line will be laid ex-
clusively for the guests of the house.
Other hotel keepers might take a val
liable hint from this plan of MIR. Sey-
mour and do likewise. At present
there is not half enough hotel room in
that stirring town. The plan of Mr..
Seymour will be to run the new Russ in
connection with the old one as the
Cotton Branch. Whatever he under
takes he carries through, and his cap
ital and energy will be valuable ad-
dition to Southern California.

A MIND UNHINGED.
DIR. Letting well, of COvina, Has
u Strange DelusiOn.

a DOhoShOhs
Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriffs
Russell and Cooney were sitting in
their office perusing the morning
papers when they were startled by
some one who ratified at the door,
which was locked, in an impatient
manner. Hastily dropping their pa
pers they unlocked the door and were
accosted by a well dressed gentleman,
who who wanted them to arrest his
wife Immediately. She had tried to
poison him, he said, by putting arsenic
in his sugar. In proof of his state
ment he exhibited small vial half
filled with granulated sugar, which he
said he had taken from the sugar
bowl. When asked where his wife
was, he said she was out on the road
to Pasadena, sitting on the sand.
She had collected lot OF hui
man homes for the purpose of put
ting them together and shipping
them East On the way to Pasadena
the bones had been scattered along
the road, and she was sitting on the
sand trying to get them together again.
The Deputy Sheriffs observing that
the man was evidently out of his
mind went to the inside room for the
purpose of telephoning to Sheriff Kays
to see what they should do in the
matter. While thus engaged the man
departed and was nowhere to be
found when. they returned. They
consequently started out on a search
for him, and came across him late in
the afternoon. He said his name was
DIR. Leffingwell of Covina, and that he
had practiced medicine in Oakland for
eight years. He repeated the
story about his wife sitting on the
sand, and when asked how he knew
she was there, said he had seen
her when he came in on the
train. He also said that she had
tried several times to poison
him with pork and tartar emetic.
On one occasion she had been driving
about the Azusa with a Miss Will
liams, who, he said. stopped at the
Nadeau, and when they reached his
house Miss Williams sat in the buggy
while his wife went in the house and
put arsenic in the sugar bowl. He
said he was stopping at the Natick
house. Later in the evening the Of
ficers visited the Natick, and from the
clerk learned that Dr. Leffingwell had
been acting strangely. They went to
his room and he repeated his story,
and the clerk being afraid to have him
longer in the house the officers in
duced him to accompany them to the
county jail, where he was given a
cell. The unfortunate man is appar-
emily we'll educated, and his mind has
been unhinged in some manner yet
unknown. At the Nadeau it was
stated that there was no one living
there by the name OF Miss Williams, so
that no particulars could be ascer-
tanned as to the charges.
